Abstract

Series are created for the volume of passengers traveling within the United States. The transportation modes are the omnibus and street railway, for local travel; the stagecoach and railroad, for intercity travel. The numbers of passengers that take the omnibus and street railway are generated distinguishing New York City from the rest of the country. For the stagecoach and railroad, the measurement is passenger-miles. Boston and Philadelphia are the key cities for the stagecoach series (which ends in 1840), while the railroad series is developed directly from national data.
